It’s very rare to find a Game Boy game I haven’t heard of, but that’s exactly what the boys-in-the-backroom have dug up for November! We’re playing Namco’s Great Greed, a lesser known RPG! This looks like a fun one! There’s a food themed world, odd…

The boys-in-the-backroom have the place looking festive with a web of orange and black crepe paper crawling across the ceiling. Along the back wall, a card table stands wearily under the weight of a coffee urn (now filled with spiced cider) and a tray of…

I am enjoying this game despite how frustrating it can be. The thing that keeps me coming back is all the weird enemies. In the first couple of stages alone you have a Baxter the Fly, a Batman and a flying spinning skull man. They get kookier as the game…

When Yokoi Kids decided that Nail ‘n Scale was going to be the August 2025 game of the month I was curious to see if this game would play well on a modern setup. These types of games are kinda unusual for me to play, but intriguing considering my current…

Summertime is for bad shorts. My go-to pair of bad shorts are blue and have jellyfish all over them. I have a go-to bad tank top that I wear with them that is covered in melting smiley faces. I’m going to wear these while playing June’s game – Black Bass…
